Smaller cities in India have emerged as significant contributors to the online festive season sales, with platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho experiencing a surge in orders from Tier 2 cities and beyond. During the initial days of festive sales, approximately 80% of all orders came from non-metro cities for platforms like Meesho and Flipkart, while the figure was 60% for Flipkart alone.
